Interview (Cracks Podcast #100) with Carlos García (founder of Kavak). Carlos, a Venezuelan entrepreneur (age ~37), recounts his journey: early small businesses, working at Alfonso Rivas (Venezuela), MBA at Oxford, roles at Amazon and McKinsey, leadership at Linio (grew to ~3,000 people and launched in 8 countries), and founding Kavak to solve deep problems in the Latin American used-car market (idea sketched in 2013; company launched around 2016). Key themes: building product-market fit before scaling, creating verticals (payments, logistics, financing) when they don’t exist, technology and pricing algorithms, focus on culture/accountability, fundraising (early rounds led by Mountain/Nasca; later investors include SoftBank/Marcelo Claure, General Atlantic, Green Oaks, QED, Base Capital), immigrant-driven motivation, and operational lessons (invested ~$50,000 of personal funds in an ERP—Netsuite). The episode mixes personal narrative, tactical lessons for founders, and the story of scaling Kavak in Mexico and LATAM.
